Apigee Edge Release Process

We’re excited to announce that Apigee Edge is transitioning to a continuous release model for the cloud and on-premises versions. We’re making this change to ensure our users can access the product innovation and enhancements quickly and at the highest quality possible.

All releases are expected to be free of interruption to Edge, unless it is a planned downtime which will be done with minimum of 5 business days notification. As Edge is a mission-critical infrastructure that enables access to enterprise services by developers, customers, employees and partners, new Edge releases often require our customers to perform advance planning with internal and external stakeholders. We believe a clearly communicated release cadence will assist in this planning.
